Single or multi?  I think I saw it for $20 new at gamestop.  Too much to play right now though.

I really want to play this on the pc being the pctard that I am, sucks that it's the only SKU where the price hasn't been heavily discounted this holiday season.

The missions where you're alone suck. Dunno why they decided to do that.

But the squad stuff is really fun. Like playing Full Spectrum Warrior but you get to actually shoot!

I haven't played the game, but a HUGE part of the drama with Market Garden was getting XXX Corps asses up that damn road. To not have any vehicle segments in a game in that setting would sort of suck, IMO.

I'm really surprised at how good the storytelling is.
Also the characters have so much... erm... character in their eyes. It's really alarming at first.

Only problem is that I assume a lot of the plot threads are continuations from the previous games, and I'm kind of lost at a lot of the things they allude to.

if you think this is better than codwaw you must have a lack of testosterone in your body

World at War is a turd. I remember people saying BUT TREYARCH HAVE AN ENTIRE TWO YEARS! IT'LL BE BETTER THAN 3 I PROMISE!!

Yeah, so much for that. It stinks of their terrible game design.

Worse yet, they now have COD4's gameplay quirks in their repertoire. So you have the worse aspects of COD4 and COD3 all wrapped up and concentrated into one shithouse. 

I don't think I have the enthusiasm or motivation to even make it to the Russian levels as these awful Pacific missions are sucking the life right outta me.

And I gotta say again, it's butt ugly. I'm not even talking about the PS3 effect. It's visual design is putrid. Looking out at the airfield as tanks roll by  :yuck

BIA might not be a technical powerhouse, but it's a pleasure to look at. It's got really nice bright and vibrant colours plus the character models are really great. I had hoped taking COD into the Pacific would bring a little color into the mix, but it's just dull browns and greys again. Yawn.


But I'm not saying BIA is amazing. The solo missions were ass, as were the tank sections. But the missions where they give you control of three squads were awesome. It was great fun maneuvering between cover spots, placing my squads in positions to supress enemy fire teams so I can flank. So much more interesting than the boring COD4 reject leve missions in WAW.

i liked cod5 ok, but i liked cod3 better (singleplayer)

 :-[ i have to confess i think the wii version (singleplayer) is better than the 360 version - no grenade spamming, and due to the system limitations the enemy closets aren't as frustrating

but don't kid yourselves, had the name "infinity ward" been across the bottom of the box, a lot of the people bitching about cod waw would have been stooped over to lick iw ass crack

treyarch makes the exact same cod games iw does
